Do. Morley has treated me for Rheumatoid Arthritis for 13 years. He diagnosed it from the start and got it under control when I was in severe pain. He has always been very responsive when I need help. He is thorough and takes the time he needs to property treat you. He is an Excellent specialist!

Horrible wait times. I waited 4 hours to see this doctor… only to be misdiagnosed. Then I got a call from the office a few days later asking if I had the copy of the appointment summary he gave me because they lost it. I never went back.

I would not recommend this Dr. to anyone. He seems to be “forgetting “ previous visits, disputes your word, is rude and argumentative. I was very upset, but I maintained my composure. Unlike the Dr. I was in that office for 3 hours, and he did absolutely nothing related to my care. Do not bother to complain to the office manager. Shelia MORLEY. She is just as ‘off as her husband, the Dr.! Never heard an apology I eventually hung up. I will never go back there. Beware!

Waited about 6 months to get in with a rheumatologist. Finally got accepted to Dr. Morley’s practice. He looked at me, looked at my old blood work and say I had fibro. He basically threw this diagnosis at me and told me ‘good luck!’ He was so nice that I didn’t seem to realize he wasn’t actually helping me. Another 6 months later and I’m going to Emory and likely have Lupus so thanks guy

My first appointment included a long wait, but I had been warned (by Dr. Morley's staff) that this would happen, so I felt prepared for the waiting room time. I found Dr. Morley to be a wonderful, caring, and thorough doctor. He spends time with his patients which I appreciate. I hate going to doctors who stare at their laptops the entire time and rush you out in order to meet the required number of patients that they must see that day.

Very loooong wait time. 4.5 hours at initial consult (had ask me to come in 30 minutes early)
F/u 3hrs and left without being seen
Staff never ask if all was well. Apologize for or warn of wait times
No apology explanation when I left w/o being seen.
My encounter with Dr Morley was great
Very through professional and caring

He came to see me in the hospital at the request of the physician caring for me. It was a serious situation and my regular rheumatologist didn't bother to come by but Dr. Morley came at the drop of a hat. He is very intelligent and concerned about his patients. I will be following up with him from now on. I haven't been to his office yet.

I think he's a good doctor, but hate having to go see him due to his wait time. I schedule the first appointment of the day and am still kept waiting at least 45 minutes to see him. Don't know how a doctor can run extremely late every time.

The staff is atrocious, the process to get an audience is more difficult than seeing the Wizard of Oz! I was told to come in an hour early and have now waited 2 and a half hours and counting! !! That's totally unprofessional. Obviously no regard for his patients!

Tired of waiting in Savannah GA – Jul 13, 2016
Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Morley?
I haven't even seen him yet I arrived here at 12:05 for a 12:30 appointment. It's now 1:21 and I'm still waiting. If I hadn't paid my Co -pay I would leave. There's only 1 patient besides me in the waiting area. This is ridiculous. I'm already in pain and to sit and wait this long......... Not a good sign at all.

Did not have good experiences with this doctor. Did not seem to take patient conditions seriously though I have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and suffer many symptoms. Told me I can manage my condition with over the counter drugs. I continue to suffer so I am searching for a doctor that specializing in the disease that I suffer from.

Personal beliefs cloud his medical judgement. Believes Fibromyalgia is not a debilitating disease and this clouds his perception of what he is being told by the person that is living with it. Saw Dr. Morely for over a year until the condition became unbearable. Saw another Dr who is getting the pain under control.

Had my first visit with Dr. Morley on 2/9. I was very impressed. He displays a very caring attitude toward his patients and doesn't rush you in any way. He listened intently to everything I had to say and asked voluminous questions about my symptoms and was able to diagnose my problem without the need for blood tests. It was my first visit so my wait time was understandably longer due to paperwork processing. I could not be happier with my experience with Dr. Morley.

Dr. Morley is very thorough and takes his time listening to his patients. I have been to him multiple times and have never waited more than 30 minutes...usually it's about 15 minutes. The people complaining about waiting were probably an exception and these are the same people that would complain if Dr. Morley rushed them out of there. I would never go to anyone else unless I moved or he retired.
